But even if the system state returns to something resembling what was the status quo 48 hours ago, the solution to this mean field game may now be quite different. Many potential job candidates will factor in increased uncertainty in the funding and regulatory environment for mathematics in the US going forward, and may therefore accept competing offers in other countries. The number of participants in major US-based mathematical events, such as the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia, may also be impacted. One could argue that any "brain drain" from the US would simply result in an equal and opposite "brain gain" in other countries, but this thinking again assumes an oversimplified linear model: in practice, the rest of the world would not be able to absorb all of the lost opportunities in the US in a single job cycle, and some mathematicians may end up leaving the field entirely, or not obtain as enriching a career as they would otherwise have been able to achieve.
